Hey there, warfighter117!

I'd follow @smorizio's advice and make sure your external HDD's software & drivers are up to date. If you wish to eject the external HDD properly, you should go to Device Manager and try uninstalling and reinstalling the hard drive as a device from there.

I'd also suggest you check your computer's/motherboard's USB hub controller drivers and manually update them from the PC/Mobo manufacturer's official website.

Hope it helps. Keep us posted! :)
